A/C just started making a deep hum...
I installed a 2nd A/C in the bedroom last summer, a Mach 8. I replaced the fan blade to make it quieter and it's worked great all year. But just recently...just as you're turning the A/C on it sounds...

fixed it. Slid a bamboo skewer under the bolt and grabbed it on the other side with some fine-edged tweezers and screwed it back up by turning it with those. Then carefully screwed the rubber spacer back onto the bolt. Got a tight fit. Screwed the foot of the fan motor onto the rubber foot. Working great again.
Yay me. Girl power.
Thanks for the help.
You fixed it but not long term. RVP is now installing blue locktite on the mount screws. They have a problem with those screws backing out and when that happens (you were lucky), the motor then starts bouncing and the fan blade then either cuts the condenser and just breaks. Use your bamboo and remove each rubber foot and add the locktite on each of the 3 mounts. Yes, the problem IS a warranty if within the warranty period. But, you seem to know how to do it so why waste time taking it in. Doug
